Why We Publish No Prices

Why UmraHajj.com shows no prices and prepares tailored proposals instead, and the main things that affect what an Umrah or Hajj trip costs.

Updated 8 November 2026Reviewed by the UmraHajj travel team

You may notice that our package pages show no prices. That is deliberate. The cost of an Umrah or Hajj journey depends on many choices that are personal to you, so instead of advertising a starting figure that rarely matches real needs, we ask for your trip details and send a tailored written proposal.

No prices on Umrah packages — tailored proposals for each pilgrim

Why we show no prices on package pages

Advertised “from” prices are usually based on the cheapest week of the year, four people sharing a room and a hotel some distance from the Haram. Most families end up paying something quite different. We would rather give you an accurate figure once than a misleading one first.

Showing no prices also lets us focus on what you actually need. A couple travelling in Ramadan, a family with young children and an elderly parent needing a wheelchair all need different hotels, rooms and transport.

What affects the cost of your trip

Season

Ramadan, especially the last ten nights, school holidays and the weeks around Hajj are the busiest and most in demand.

Hotel distance

Haram-facing hotels and those within a short walk cost more than hotels served by a shuttle.

Flights

Departure airport, direct or connecting flights and how far ahead you book all matter.

Room sharing

Double, triple and quad rooms change the cost per person considerably.

Nights

The total number of nights, and the split between Makkah and Madinah, shape the proposal.

Extras

Private transport, the Haramain train, guided Ziyarat and meet-and-assist services add to the total.

Season and dates

Hotel rates near the Haram move with demand. Flexible dates often unlock better options, which is why the quote form asks how flexible you are. Our Ramadan countdown helps if you are deciding around the holy month.

Hotel level and distance

Walking distance matters, especially for elderly pilgrims who may visit the Haram several times a day. You can choose a hotel level and a distance in the form, and we explain the trade-offs in the proposal.

Flights and room sharing

Fares change with the departure airport, the airline and how early you book, and connecting flights can be very different from direct ones. Room sharing has an equally large effect: the same hotel works out quite differently per person in a double room compared with a quad. These moving parts are the main reason our package pages show no prices and every proposal is prepared by hand.

How to get an accurate proposal with no prices listed

  1. Plan your nights

    Use the Umrah trip planner to decide how long to stay in each city.

  2. Send your details

    Complete the four-step quote form with dates, travellers and hotel preferences.

  3. Compare options

    Ask for alternatives, such as a closer hotel or different room sharing, and compare them in writing.

Before you book with any provider, check what is included and how your money is protected. UK travellers can read about flight-inclusive protection on the Civil Aviation Authority ATOL page.

Once you have your proposal, you can compare it with any other offer you are considering. Check what is included in each, especially hotel names, distances and transport, so you are comparing like with like.

No prices: frequently asked questions

Why do you show no prices when other sites do?

Fixed prices rarely match a real trip. A tailored proposal reflects your dates, hotels, flights and rooms, so the figure you see is the one that applies.

Can you give me a rough idea?

Yes. Send your details with a budget guide and we will tell you what is realistic for your dates.

Is the proposal free?

Yes. It is free and there is no obligation to book.
